Patriots Pregame Thread SUPER BOWL PREGAME THREAD - Patriots vs Seahawks 2026 SB - The Rematch

[Vindicate]

Who's ready for what will probably be the most deranged game day thread of the year, baby?! God time is being slow dripped rn

Wearing my Spikes jersey to channel that Ultra Violent spirit one last time before the season's end.

Spikes would make you regret running, let's embody that today.

BB always looked like Emperor Palpatine in the hoodie.

If the Pats win today, someone needs to edit Vrabel in a photo and make him Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Is that the blue guy?

Who besides JSN would give you any concern at all with Davis covering them? He should shut down anyone else they have, he is far better.

Rasheed Wallace and cooper kupp are not slouches and should get a lot of action today because Nigba will be doubled a lot I would imagine

My holy grail jersey is Troy Brown. Bought legit from the Pro Shop 26 years ago…. Same for Bledsoe. My guys. They are still and all staying in the closet. Loved everything about those two. They started bringing this team back.

Charbonnet is out injured right?

Correct, acl

 

[RobertWeathers]

Compelling if not overwhelming.

Wait, are you saying the GDT has no effect on the outcome of the Game? You're crazy!

I think that is what McD does on his tablet, reads the GDT to know what he should do since all of the best OCs are in there.

If we lose the narrative will be we didn’t belong and Maye isn’t a good playoff QB.

If we win the narrative will be we got lucky again and Maye isn’t a good playoff QB.

Can’t win either way guarantee it

You better believe it!!!
Skippy needs his A game today.

Darnold is a good qb but not elite by any means. The Pats D will crush the Gulls O line and invoke poltergeists on Darnold and he will be playing in fear. He got to this point because the rest of the team is so good, and he has the best receivers in the league. IF he can get them the ball….which he won’t be able to easily.

The Pats O has faced what…the #1, #2 and #5 NFL defenses on their journey? Gulls have great D but it’s no LOB. I don’t have any concerns there.

The key to this victory is shattering Darnold’s confidence.

GO PATS

It’s definitely not bend but don’t break, it’s an aggressive pass rush scheme used in passing situations not a base defense.

It’s anything it needs to be based on the SITUATION - - hence Ameoba.

Like Belichick as DC of the Giants in the SB against the Bills knowing they needed to shut down Kelly’s airgame and accepting that they would be subsequently allowing Thurman Thomas to run wild, which he did for over 135 yards.

And it isn’t just one strategy as you are illustrating above - - it is switching among many and keeping the opposing Oc and QB guessing.

You are confusing Amoeba with ‘dominant monster’ (i.e. this year’s Texans or the early 2000’s Ravens)- - it is a far more overall chess strategy than you think.

I want the Pats to defer. Seattle is the visitor so they get the call.

Patriots getting the ball first may be best so that Maye doesn't have a deficit to overcome etc. He can just play.

Puppies picked the Patriots this week via NBC.

@SammyBlueCat waa robbed in the Division Round. It was totally a CATch.

Why get caught up in that? Who cares?

Why let others diminish your fandom happiness?

We will be Super Bowl Champions and 31 other fan bases won't. That is history.

Everyone else can suck it and be miserable. Not my problem they can't deal with someone else's happiness and success.

Rasheed Wallace would be a huge problem for us, since we have nobody that could cover him. Our only hope would be to hope he gets a couple of technical fouls & gets ejected from the game..

Who is Rasheed Wallace?

Rasheed Wallace - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Do you mean Shaheed?
He has played 11 games for Seattle and caught 16 passes

Kupp catches less than 3 a game and has only 4 50+ receiving games all year.

This is probably the worst WR2/WR3 production we have faced all year.

What piece of work. Can't believe Bill allowed her to wear that.
